Marauder-2 class Tracked Main Battle Tank, TL 10

Built for corporate security and garrison missions. These are currently serving on Jubb (world) in the Mercenary unit called Mendel's Marauders. They form the basis for the newly formed company of 8 Main Battle Tanks. These TL–10 vehicles are optimistically envisioned to destroy enemy vehicles and use their MMG to deal with enemy infantry. The armor does not qualify for Protected Forces status. They have a crew of four, driver/mechanic, gunner, loader and commander. The commander and loader stand and the other two are seated. They are not equipped to cope with NBC/CBR environments. It is not sealed nor pressurized. The vehicle's front chassis and the turret front are radically sloped to improve the armor rating. It is a bare-bones design meant to be inexpensive. On Jubb (world) the crew usually wear their filter masks inside the vehicle to deal will the world's atmospheric taint. The electronics suite is almost non-existent and the vehicle lacks any defensive counter-measures.
